Leonardo

Leonardo, amid the recipients of the European Commission's increased investment in weapons and defense technologies, experienced a cyber attack which led to a leak of sensitive company data. The data included critical information on defense projects and employee details, impacting the company's reputation and potentially its competitiveness in the military sector. The attack disrupted internal operations and could have had ramifications for national security, given Leonardo's role in defense and aerospace projects across Europe.
